MLAs protest over T-Bill, Andhra assembly adjourned

Hyderabad, Dec 16: Andhra Pradesh assembly faced another deadlock over Telangana Bill on Monday as the opposition parties stalled the proceedings over the bill sent by President President Pranab Mukherjee. The bill was presented in the house today.

The house was adjourned for an hour after YSR Congress and Telugu Desam Party MLAs protested and tore away and burned copies of bill. Andhra Pradesh chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy was not present in the house.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) wanted the speaker to immediately take up the Telangana bill for debate.

Main opposition TDP and YSR Congress Party moved an adjournment motion demanding debate on the manner in which the central and state governments are handling the issue of state's bifurcation, said a DNA report.
